Mud, Sweat & Gears 2011 Round 6 - Langdon Hills

That was great! Hard work but great :)

I wasn't at all sure about my fitness levels before the start, as I've struggled to find the time to do any long rides for a few weeks (just little and often). So was expecting to be around the same place as previous rounds or maybe a place or two down. Coming in and finding I was 18th was brilliant as that was 7 places higher than I've been this series and 6 places higher than my previous personal best, then finding out it was actually 17th was the icing on the cake :)

For the last 3 laps I had a bit of a running battle with Mike, I'd get past him then he'd pass me again, we continued like that right up until the end and that really helped to spur me on.

Huge well done to Dan, a much deserved 1st place :) And well done to the others who've fought their way onto the race/series podium :)

Finally thanks to the TROGettes :clap: It'd be much harder work without the support!
